That ivory is awesome.  The whole package; blade design, damascus pattern, guard/spacer combination, ivory, and the domed pins; all works perfectly together.  Its amazing that it manages to make the other one, a hand forged damascus/desert ironwood knife, look kinda plain.

Thanks guys. I'm working my way through this group of blades.    :campfire:  

I added to the group forging two very small 2-3/4 inch well proportioned blades of the same Damascus pattern. It seems I always have enough Damascus to keep some of these blades on hand. And more in the pipe line waiting.

I got another finished from this thread's group. This one is for my grandson. I wanted to make it interesting to sit and look at as he gets older. 3-1/4 inch blade of my twist Damascus. There is some mammoth ivory spacers with stacked cherry wood and some stag. This one also has a dogwood flower on the pommel.
   
   
   

This is Ethan, my grandson.
   

Now I have two more to finish from this bunch.

That's a beauty Lin, lots of detail to keep him looking at it.......at least until he gets into his teens and finds other objects more appealing   ;)  
Nice photo of the wee one........he'll have a forging hammer in his mitts before too long I'll bet!

Beautiful knife for Ethan to admire for years to come. Looks to me like he is one to be proud of too.

Thanks guys.

I'm really hoping he will take to working with his hands. I'm hoping to share all I can to help him get started if he will accept it. They grow fast don't they? He's seems to have a serious demeanor but he will smile a lot so I'm hoping he will develop a personality that can exhibit patience and enjoy working a craft.

He will certainly have a top notch mentor - someone trained both in a craft and in teaching. I envy him   :)

Thanks guys.

I should have the 4th knife of this group finished today. I will have a picture or two later. The blade looks good.

This is the Duffy knife. It is one of my Vagabond Hunters. I have the guard on and the stag ready but no pics yet.

I can see some genetics in there. Really.
